Five old friends sit around a campfire telling stories that fail to impress one of the members. When the sixth and newest member of the group decides to tell them a story from his childhood, the story of The Smoldering Man, nothing will ever be the same again. After there is doubt as to the truth of the tale, the friends get more than they bargained for when The Smoldering Man waits in the fire, ready to be called up from his flaming hell again.
